What side was john brown on union or confederacy?

John Brown was an ardent abolitionist who opposed slavery and fought for its eradication. He was not aligned with either the Union or the Confederacy in the traditional sense, as his primary focus was on ending slavery rather than supporting either side in the Civil War. His actions, including the raid on Harpers Ferry in 1859, were aimed at inciting a slave uprising and promoting the abolitionist cause. Brown's radical approach ultimately made him a martyr for the abolitionist movement.

What event triggered the civil war between the Union and the Confederacy?

On October 16, 1859 John Brown and 21 followers arrived at Harpers Ferry. Brown had killed slavery supporters in the Kansas Territory, and then he wanted to spark a slave revolt in Virginia. Brown and his men attacked and captured the federal arsenal, where the weapons were stored. They took hostages, but no slaves came to join the revolt. United States Marines led by Colonel Robert E. Lee rushed to Harpers Ferry to capture John Brown, put him on trial and execute him. The South (Confederacy) were shocked by his violent acts. His raid started the tension between the North (Union) and the South (Confederacy). Later, many white Southerners blamed the North for Brown's acts. That is the first event that triggered the Civil War.
